First off, I apologize to my friends and roleplay partners who've been left hanging. Any desire to cancel old threads is completely understandable.

I've been struggling with a serious health issue the past several months. There was a long period where things would seem to improve only to relapse, delaying things further. All that aside, just wanted to let people know I'm around again and to contact me via PM or Trillian - ironsoldier, if anyone wants to get things going again.

Though her kick landed, Highfly stood her ground and did not fall. She growls a bit and tries to move in more. The tables turn and Highfly's defensive punches got in the redhead's way. A few good punches made her back off a few steps. "Geez..."

Looks like Highfly was improving on her fighting and the audience can see that. Her sisters would smile in knowing that whether win or lose, their youngest sister has grown up. Now, it's up to Highfly to take care of the rest.

As Juniper was staggering back after those punches, the pilot didn't want to delay in taking another opportunity. But she had to play this next one smart and quick before the redhead can suspect it. She would rush in as Juniper was stepping back in an attempt to jump and perform a drop kick to her body as she also backflips from it.

If this worked, Juniper might be on the mat in pain. But if she misses, Highfly would just kick air.

using her had to wipe away at her mouth, Juniper tries to get herself refocused and go back in after Highfly. She couldnt let the girl gain too much confidence, or else it would be Juniper's ass thats gonna get kicked in this round. Juniper began to move toward Highfly. Too bad she didnt see the kick that was coming her way. How the hell did she get so high up?!

Juniper groans out, getting taken off of the ground, in fact. She lands with a heavy THUMP on her back. She groans, missing such an awesome backflip.

Highfly could hear the crowd cheer in amazement and excitement as she landed on her feet after a successful drop kick into a backflip. Even the older sisters joined in as they got into the action. Looks like this little girl may have a chance after all.

Highfly looked onto Juniper as she had to think on what to do next. Should she perform a body splash or ground tactics? Both were powerful options, but of course they have different flaws. Body splashes for one could be avoided and countered, while ground tactics are hardly part of Highfly's skillset. It took only a few seconds to figure that out.

With no further delay, the pilot would rush and slide to her lain opponent and tried to sit on top of her. If this worked, she would try to start throwing some punches down onto Juniper to show that she can fight.

" Ough.....You ought to know by now.....It takes more than that to make me stay down." Juniper groans slightly while getting back up. From the cheers she knew that she REALLY missed something awesome. Pouting slightly, she was shown to be a bit worn. The way Highfly was approaching, she was ready to punch. Juniper.....Takes a few steps back.

Just as Highfly was rushing in and about to slide, Juniper was already getting back up. She might have missed a good opportunity for some good strikes to add, but still received some cheers from her last move. So, the best option right now is to keep the momentum going.

The pilot was only bouncing as she was following her opponent stepping back. She would go in and attempt to throw in a few more punches aiming to the face before one in the gut. Highfly thinks that one sucker punch should keep Juniper at bay, if not double over.

She just has to weaken her opponent a little more before trying for a submission.

The speedy little girl was able to stop herself before she was able to get hit by Juniper. The growling wild child tries to take steps back, but Highfly kept up with her. Her punches hurt more than before. Because they were laced with revenge.

Highfly would breathe heavily in and out slowly as she watched Juniper fall against the ropes and sat on the mat. Looks like her controlled anger is playing well since she wants revenge. Gritting her teeth, she knew that if she wants to keep the advantage up, there's not a moment to waste.

The pilot would now attempt to pull Juniper up before wrapping her arms around her waist. If this worked, Highfly would even try to squeeze and lift her opponent up in a bearhug. Yes, she was smaller, but she had to at least try.

Juniper slung an arm over the lowest rope, groaning a bit as she looked up to the tired Highfly. She must've had a burst of energy all of a sudden, and just finished using it all up. She had no choice but to allow herself to be grabbed and picked up. And one of her favorite moves....!

It was being used against her. Juniper didnt have much time to recover from before. But Highfly had an entire round to get her strength back. "NGH! NAH! S-Stop!" She struggles in her opponent's grip.

As Highfly began to squeeze with all her might, she would shout out, "Now, you'll see how I felt when you put me in this! I won't disgrace my sisters again and I won't let you put me down a second time!"

She wanted to keep Juniper in the bearhug for a while just to tire her out. It wouldn't be that long, only a couple minutes or so. Later, she would slowly release her opponent and let her hit the mat with all that pain in her body.
